The first British Open golf tournament was held at the Prestwick club in 1860.
The golf tournament is played on different golf courses. The only thing that all golf tournaments have in common each year is that the last day of play is the third Sunday in July. Both amateur golfers and golf professionals are admitted to this game - which is why the golf tournament "British Open" also owes its name "Open" = "open" to all golfers. This means that there are several qualifying rounds for the British Open golf tournament in which practically any golfer can take part. Of course, the top players in the world are automatically invited to the golf tournament in Great Britain. And the greats of golf gladly accept this invitation to the British Open every year.
